• I had never read the stories of Jorge y Marta before and I was pleasantly surprised. The moral of the five short stories is to value your friendship with others. The story about Marta and the pea soup is so funny because she loves to make the soup but Jorge dislikes pea soup. He eat’s the soup because he does not want to hurt his friends feelings but what he doesn’t know is that Marta only likes making the soup but not eating it. Marta then informs him that friends should always tell each other the truth. This book would also be good to read when one is introducing the color yellow to the class, since it is represented throughout the book.

Children reading this book can make connections with the various images that they are seeing in the book. They can look outside their window and see a big tree and a little tree. They can make comparisons on their own with objects that they have around them, which would be a great way to introduce a math lesson that deals with grouping by size.
7.
Eastman, P.D. Are You My Mother? New York: Random House, 1998. 72 pages. Ages 4-8. Genre: Picture Story Book. Language: English

• The first time I read this book I was reading it to my pre-school children. They were so interested in the story that they did not make any noise or cause any type of distraction. Every time the baby bird would ask, “are you my mother?” my students would say no because you are a bird and it’s not. It was awesome to see these children concerned about a little bird in a book, they wanted the bird to find its mother and clapped for joy when he finally did.

• Laura Numeroff has created an abundance of “If You” books such as; If You Gave a Mouse a Cookie, If You Gave a Moose a Muffin, and If you Gave a Pig a Pancake. All of the books generally follow the same sequence and children seem to truly enjoy the mischief that takes place in all of Numeroff’s stories.
• This story is one of my student’s favorite because they love the many things that the mouse does throughout the story. I enjoy reading it to them because they are laughing and giggling while I am reading it to them. Another beautiful thing that happens while I am reading the story is that the children begin to say, “I do that to!” such as when the mouse is building with the blocks, writing a story, or playing basketball. I feel proud of the fact that they know what they are capable of doing, and seeing those things in a story validates to them that they are important and special.

• I wish I had this book when my younger brother was born! The story has a theme that older siblings have struggled with since the begging of time, the addition of a new brother or sister. My favorite part of the story is when Chester says, “Please, can we give him back?”, “I’ll be really, really good if we can give him back.” These sentences capture the sense of jealousy and frustration that a sibling feels at one time or another. I praise Penn for the wonderful way that she explains to Chester that she will always love him and have enough kisses to give both of her sons.

This book is a great book to introduce poetry to students. Silverstein does a wonderful job in creating silly, entertaining, and funny poems that children and adults love. Silverstein was born in Chicago and never intended to become a children’s writer. He became an author, illustrator, and music composer. Silverstein received the Buck-Eye award and the George G. Stone award for A Light in the Attic.
Children would highly benefit from hearing the poems from The Light in the Attic. They are silly and funny and require children to use their imagination and creativity to picture the wonderful characters that Silverstein has created. Reading a Silverstein book aloud will help students hear the flow of poetry and help sharpen their listening skills.

The boys grow up in New York City andhave a variety of adventures together, from Fudge falling down and loosing his teeth to being in a bicycle commercial. This is a great book for any students that have younger sibling.
I found this book in my son’s closet and decided to read it. The story line is very fun, and the mischief that Fudge finds himself in brings a smile to the readers face. The boom is very entertaining and it grabs your attention with the first sentence, “I won Dribble at Jimmy Fargo’s birthday party.”
3. Silverstein,Shel.Where the Sidewalk Ends . New York: Harper Collins, 1974. 176 pages. Ages: 9-12. Genre: Poetry. Language: English
In this book Silverstein has a beautiful invitation written on the first page. “If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic bean buyer… If you are a pretender, come sit by the fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in, come in!” With this wonderful short poem Silverstein welcomes all children into his wonderful make-believe world full of wonder and beauty.
I am a huge fan of all Silverstein. The man was a poetic genius that created wonderful poems and characters for all to enjoy. My favorite poems from this book are, “Hug O’War”, and, “Listen to the Musnt’s” The poems in this book would be great to have students perform them in front of their classmates or to create their own artistic interpretations of the poem.
4. Rowling,J.K.Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. New York:Arthur A. Levine Books, 2003. 309 pages. Ages: 9-12. Genre: Contemporary Fantasy. Language: English. ·J.K Rowling hit the jackpot when she created the character of Harry Potter and the wonderful magical world that he lives in.

With the creation of the Harry Potter Collection, Rowling has motivated children from around the world to pick-up a book and become readers. ·I was intrigued by the Harry Potter madness when the third book was released. I went out and bought the first book to get to know what the story was about. I read the entire first book in one night. I was transported to the dark halls of Hogwarts School, where Harry was a student, and became one of his closest friends. I was there when he felt lonely and I felt his loneliness. I was there when he first saw a picture of his parents and I shared his joy. This book is awesome for everyone who loves creative and imaginative writing. 5. Lee,Harper. To Kill A Mockingbird. New York: Grand Central Publishing, 1988. 288 pages. Ages: 12-18. Genre: Historical Fiction . Language: English
Ms. Harper Lee wrote, To Kill A Mockingbird, in 1959, and the novel went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. The novel takes place in the 1930’s in rural Alabama. The book deals with race issues that small towns in the South faced during that time. To Kill A Mockingbird, has become a right of passage to many American elementary and High School students, it’s message of injustice and prejudice can transcend any era.
I had the honor of reading To Kill A Mockingbird in the seventh grade at St. Michael’s Catholic School. I fell in love with Scout one of the main characters in the story as well as the narrator. She was a little girl that did not follow the norms of what society expected of little girls. She adored her brother Jem and her father whom she called by his first name, Atticus. This book is on my list of most adored book behind the Harry Potter Collection. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
6. Sinclair, Upton.The Jungle. New York: Random House, 2002. 424 pages. Ages: 12-18. Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction. Language: English
Upton Sinclair created a national treasure when he wrote The Jungle. Sinclair gave a vivid and grotesque yet real, description of what workers in Chicago’s meat packing district where facing. The book is very relatable to all individuals who have been sons or daughters of immigrant parents. We understand the terrible conditions and low paying wages that our parents received in search of their American dream.
I recall having finished reading The Jungle, and swearing never to eat meat again! I was engrossed with the vivid descriptions that Sinclair provided about the meat factories. I would look at my hotdogs and wonder if anyone’s finger or entire body was in it. I have family members that still work in the meat packing industry, and I can say that one of them crawls out of bed every morning because his joints and body ache so much. We have tried to get him to retire or sue them, but he says that the company has provided for him and his family since he first arrived in America and that he could not do that to them.
7. Brown,Dan.The DaVinci Code.New York: Random House, 2003.454 pages. Ages: 15-adult. Genre: Adult novel. Language: English ·Dan Brown really shocks the Christian community with his book The DaVinci Code. Brown writes about the Holy Grail and reveals that Mary Magdaline is the Holy Grail herself. Brown goes on to write that Jesus and Mary Magdaline where husband and wife and that they produced children insinuating that there are walking descendents of Jesus Christ on earth. ·I was interested in reading this book because of all the media hype and controversy that surrounded it. I went out and bought the book and finished it in two days. I consider myself a Catholic and have been a Sunday school teacher, but I found myself questioning whether or not what Brow said had any merit to it, of course I will have to wait until I meet Jesus Christ himself. 8. Frank,Ann.The Diary of a Young Girl. New York: Bantam, 1993. 304 pages. Ages: 10-adult. Genre: Non-Fiction. Language: English.
Ann Frank was born in 1929 in Amsterdam. This book chronicles her two years in hiding from Nazi soldiers. The story of Ann Frank is usually assigned to elementary school students to read in class. Ann Frank died in 1945 in a Nazi concentration camp. Her father was the only one from her family that survived and he was the one that bought her diary to the public.
One reason that this book is a good book for middle school students is because they can relate to the experiences and emotions that Ann is feeling in her diary. Pre-teens and teens have all felt lonely, isolated, and trapped in their life at one point or another. This book will help students see the Holocaust through the eyes of a teenager and makes it more tangible for them to understand the true suffering and fear that Jews felt during this terrible time.

Carle wrote The Hungry Caterpillar in 1969 and the book has been translated into 45 languages and has sold more than 25 million copies. It is an almost guarantee that this book can be found in the majority of pre-schools in America.
This book is one of my pre-school student’s favorite book to hear. The illustrations that Carle provides are so full of color and creativity that it immediately draws the children's attention to the book. One of the best part of the book is when Carle lists all the foods that the caterpillar has eaten before covering himself in his cocoon. My students will start saying, “I eat, that! I have that at my house.” The children are able to relate to the book thus making the book a wonderful learning tool that will help students enhance their listening skills.
10. Viorst,Judith.Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day. New York: Aladdin, 1987. 32 pages. Ages 4-8. Genre: Fictional Story. Language: English
Judith Viorst has created a wonderful character in Alexander.This story deals with the many struggles that Alexander faces in a single day. From not getting a prize in the cereal box to not getting the sneakers that he wanted when his older brothers did.There are more scenarios that Alexander deals with.
This book is great to read to children because it lets them see that everyone has a bad day and that they are not alone. Judith Viorst provides a variety of funny situations that cause Alexander to feel that he is having a bad day. Children can relate to this book because it is more than likely that they have experienced one of the terrible things that Alexander goes through.
